Of the 23 awards, I correctly picked only 6. They were: Anora for Best Picture and Director, Conclave for Adapted Screenplay, Wicked for Production Design, The Only Girl in the Orchestra for Doc Short Subject, and Ainda Estou Aqui for foreign film. Not bad given I only saw two of them. #hatm

Anora wins Best Picture! It also won best leading actress, director, editor, and original screenplay. It was a competitive year with many films taking home awards. #hatm Now life can return to normal.

Adrien Brody wins for The Brutalist, his second Oscar after The Pianist. And I thought his career was going downward after some of the films he did in between. C'mon, Predators? #hatm

I picked The Only Girl in the Orchestra to win based on nothing more than it had the word "Orchestra" in it. #hatm

Oh, are they giving Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli their award? They deserve them. Now this would be the ideal time to announce the new Bond: please say Henry Cavil. #hatm
